Perhaps the "no death" relates to "no death outside of the design of God" and since God designed pigs to be eaten, they'll get to live out their Creation purpose: bacon!
Because, if you think about it, no agriculture works without death...you kill wheat to make bread and so forth.
Of this, though, I am certain: whatever we don't have, we won't miss. We will have all that we miss here: the fullness of the presence of God.
I asked this aloud to a room of teenage boys and they decided that it will be salad and Brussels sprouts forever. I say, God's ways are higher than ours.

Ahh . . . but God has no limits. If it is his will, there can be meat without death! :)
(See you at the cheeseburgers, Gunnar!)
Maybe it will be really good fake meat? LOL

Amen! Trust a southern pastor to work bacon into heaven ;D
But a heartier amen to your last words.
I love the way your boys think! And I'm looking forward to finding out the answer :-)

I think there will be a bacon tree in heaven. That would be AWESOME.
Weird, but awesome.
I must admit, I'm right there with him. Meat is just good! (Especially with bacon!)
